The white magnolia (Magnolia denudata) is known as yulan, 'jade orchid' or baiyulan, 'white jade orchid'. The flower is symbolic of purity and its name is often used as a pun on jade such as yutang which means a rich and noble house. The present vase with the addition of the peony, a flower long associated with wealth and honour, forms the homophone, yutang fugui, 'May your noble house be blessed with wealth and honour'.
